Her menu is versatile and she's happy to work with you if you have another idea. We hired them to stay and work our event and were grateful to have them.

I would highly recommend Foodsmiths Catering and Chef Gretchen to anyone looking for a caterer. Photos included were taken by Project Joy Photography.

GORgeous. REALLY... gorgeous…read more Got to enjoy this venue during a friend's wedding. I am not sure if the venue supplied the decor or not, but the entirety of the venue, even down to structure of the actual building, is just really pretty. It's simple and has a rustic yet modern and clean farmhouse feel. Lots of greenery everywhere. The party lights strung all throughout the ceiling definitely added a very quaint and warm feel. I was surprised it only took the cocktail hour after the ceremony for the staff (of whom was very inconspicuous... I don't even remember barely noticing staff) to turn the room where the wedding took place, into the reception! With tables, linens, big grand center pieces... I mean... the works! HOW did they do that in 1 hour?! Anyways... everything was right in it's place. The ambiance to the venue was to die for and the entire evening seemed to flow so seamlessly. A+++ for the Vue!

It felt so cozy for all the ladies to gather and do the workouts and then meet with all the vendors. What I liked about the venue was the area inside was so inviting. Had I known about this place 4 years ago when I was getting married, I probably would have had my wedding reception here. Everything about this venue just made me love it like the rustic and artsy room. Perfect space to entertain guests. I can't wait to come here again in September for the Beauty Boost's fall version of the Taste of Fitness event. It will be bigger and even better! So mark your calendar peeps! You won't want to miss this fun event! Plus the event space isn't too shabby either!

Been here a few times for a few different events. Since this is an event space that events…read morethemselves can rent out, I'll try to avoid commenting on the actual events. Instead, I want to focus a bit on the staff and space provided at the Kee. I've been surprised by the event staff here every time I've come to an event. Every time I've gone, the bar has been pretty understaffed. Customers will come up asking for water, and bartenders will wave them off, saying "Get water from the free dispenser over there" while the dispenser is empty. Maybe this is a barback issue? The bathrooms start out okay in the beginning of the event, but every event has been out of toilet paper and paper towels by the end. They're looking pretty shabby too. The Kee might consider mid-event janitorial services because women ducking into the men's room to steal toilet paper rolls to hand them off to other women who are sitting in the stalls is probably not the look you're going for. The space itself is cute. Rooms are wide open with ample walking space. The main room (the Kee calls it "The Venue") is huge and echo-y - which is a shame because this appears to be where they put live entertainment and music. We've had a hard time hearing any presenter's words in this room because of the acoustics. The additional rooms are super cute (love the arcade games and unique furniture), but they're only open during events if your event paid for them. The arcade games cost extra money. There are nearby parking lots that'll handle most small-event traffic, but if something huge is going on, you might need to figure out street parking. The hallways/entryways are definitely built for shuttling people through, and they handle entrance lines pretty solidly. (I'm a little confused by the Yelpers reviewing food or drinks here. The Kee is only open for private and public events. It looks like this might have been a restaurant space at one point?)

Another reviewer correctly pointed out that they already add a 20% service charge so do what you want with that info.

This review is for the catering aspect of Schmidt's and not their dine in facility…read more I planned my wedding at the Ohio Historical Society: Ohio Village, and if you use their facilities for a party, then you must pick a caterer off of their preferred list. At first, I scoffed at Schmidt's, and marked it off as a "sausage and kraut" house. I mean, who wants that kind of stuff at their wedding? Well, after a disappointing consultation with one of their other preferred caterers, I decided to give Schmidt's a shot after taking a look at what they offered on their website. I am so glad that we decided to go with Schmidt's! The contract procedure, and getting everything in order went well thanks to Arlene! The only real problem we had was with the linens being pricey, or not being available, and this was like... a week, or two before the wedding, but everything worked out, and we were told by OHS management that our reception was decorated nicer than any previous receptions they had. (Not sure if it was sincere, or not, but it was still nice to hear.) NOW, to the FOOD! We ordered basic cold cut sandwiches, traditional potato salad, a cheese and veggie tray, and some bahama mamas (their signature sausage.) Sadly, I couldn't partake of the bahama mamas due to me being worried of spilling red sauce on my wedding gown. The food was great, and was just what we wanted. It was nice and simple, and everyone left with a full stomach from our early wedding. So am I going to recommend Schmidt's catering? YES, YES, YEESSSS! They were so helpful on one of the most stressful things a bride has to deal with. They also made it work with our small budget for 50+ people. I will warn you, I had to deal with a grumpy fiancee about not having cream puffs instead of wedding cake. Choose wisely!

They brought in decorations for our tent and tables to give it a festive feel and set everything up for us. Everyone RAVED about the food (we actually had a better turn out because we advertised Schmidt's was catering!). There was more than enough food to meet our needs - especially the mini cream puffs! (YUM!) They provided not only the food, but the beer as well - which also received rave reviews! The staff quietly worked in the background to make sure the food was hot and available, as well as cleaning up behind our people as they were socializing. Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with that I felt as though I had made a new friend by the time they left. There is absolutely no question that we will use them when we have our next event!

A venue downtown, that's a bit run down, but it works for the right type of event…read more I've only been here for music. The Be Louder Group hosts shows here, primarily for electronic music. It's easy to get to but there's not really any parking in the area. I know a lot of people that get their cars broken into on the weekends, so I suggest ubering if you can. Once inside the building it looks old. Word on the street is this was an old bank back in the 1920s. There's tile everywhere, the walls could use a paint job, and the bathroom was a wreck. But like I said in the beginning, it fits for the right event, and a rave is just one of them. When you reach the ballroom, you'll find the old vault tucked under a grand staircase. It doesn't really have any of the old vault features but it is what it is. I will say that the lighting is pretty good, and the giant windows are cool. When I've been there they projected the DJs name on the wall, like I see many do for weddings.There's a big chandelier hanging right in the middle with tapestries pulling away from it. It's rather beautiful. I'm interested in seeing this place set up in the daytime or for a wedding but who knows if that would ever happen. If they cleaned up the place a bit I can see it being really lovely.

I loved the hardwood floors and lots of natural light from all of the large windows.

It's a decent food truck, and when it comes to food trucks that come on OSU campus, my expectations…read moreare not too high. This place is about a 3.5 for me. I got the Asian taco and small parm fries. The taco is saltier than my personal preference. Other than that, it tastes pretty good. The parm fries is a nice concept but bc it's large granules of parm, they are not sticking to the fries too well, so most of the parm end up on the bottom of the bowl. Both the Asian tacos and fries are not made to order. I expected that from food trucks. So of you want incredibly fresh tasting food, this is not it. The burger, however, is made to order. So it's nice for quick lunch since choices at certain parts of campus is limited. But it's not a place I would make a special trip for.

Capable of hosting, larger groups, I have attended several times the Columbus Metropolitan Club lunch meetings.

Large windows allow natural light to enter the space, and this is supplemented by other facility lighting. A great choice for event planners. I would point out that the on-site parking is smaller in capacity, and while street parking is available, this is something that needs to be thought out and clearly communicated to event attendees.

The food was delicious. We were delighted to learn they are able to accommodate for many food allergies. The only inconvenience is that parking is available about 2 blocks away or on the street.

When we left we noticed a security/police vehicle parked nearby so it felt like a safe venue especially if you had to walk the 2 blocks to the parking garages. It is located in the Italian Village district near OSU. We would recommend this venue for your special event. Thank you for a wonderfully delightful and safe evening experience.
